13 حزيران/ يونيو 2024

EUMETSAT Council Policy towards Commercial Data Procurement

  • EUMETSAT could act as procurement agent on behalf of its 30 MS 
  • Procurement of commercial data should remain marginal compared to EUMETSAT own-programmes 
  • Technology should be European and data procured on best value for money – according to EUMETSAT procurement rules 
  • Positive impact of the data has to be demonstrated before the initiation of a procurement – was done through studies performed by ECMWF – and uptake by users need to be prepared 
  • Specific requirements on industry to be able to set-up a sustained operational service 
  • Global licensing is preferred but value should be checked comparing market prices 
  • Regular assessment of the (emerging) market in Europe is mandatory
